6:00 am
should very with dr. an bel ablow on the show too many? you can stick around in. >> sure. martha: all right. thanks, you guys. fox news alert as we get started this morning. proposed new reaction to proposed cuts to our armed forces. vice president dick cheney says the cuts are more than irresponsible and down right dangerous in his view. >> i think the whole thing is not driven by any change in world circumstances. it is driven by budget considerations. would much rather spend "money" on food stamps than a strong military than money for our troops. martha: that is strong reaction. we'll bet much more than that. and more reaction from colonel ralph peters who joins as you couple minutes away. we begin this morning with another damaging report for obamacare, finding that the law
6:01 am
will not cut costs as promised. remember the 2500 number? it will raise insurance rates for a 11 million americans according to a government agency who is watching these numbers for us. good morning, everybody. happy tuesday, i'm martha maccallum. here in "america's newsroom." >> good morning, martha. >> hi, irrake. >> i'm eric shawn sitting in for bill hemmer. it's a non-partisan report and predicts 65% of small business will supreme premiums go up. those plans cover 11 million people and employers will likely pass those on to guess who, the workers. martha: that is the way it usually works stuart varney joins us from the "varney & company" from the fox business network. tell us where the numbers come from. >> medicare & medicaid services office of the actuaries. they're bean counters. middle of the road bean counters don't take idealogical position. they studied employers with
6:02 am
full-time workers less than 50. they insure their workers privately. the study found as you reported, martha, 2/3 of these employers with 11 million workers will pay more. they didn't say how much more but paying more. this study did not include any extra payment payments for deductibles. didn't include problems working out who is your doctor and who is your hospital. simply saying under obamacare because of what is called the community rating rule, these employers will pay more. now in response we have the department of health and human services saying the rise in health care costs has been slowing. so it is quote, easier for businesses to offer coverage. that is an implicit admission that health care costs are rising, not coming down. martha: well the report also found for some people the costs would come down correct? >> yes. but 1/3, covering approximately 6 million people, but those especially with a younger workforce. those people, they would pay
6:03 am
less but 2/3 would pay more. martha: remember the president saying that basically most people would save about $2500 on their health care costs. that doesn't seem to be the case for at least five million of those that are in the small business world. >> health and human services just admitted health care costs are not coming down. martha: stuart, thank you. see you coming up later at 11:00. >> another fox news alert. eric holder, nation's top law enforcement official, the attorney general, basically telling his lutz to ignore the law. the attorney general is expected to have a speech at the to hour. he is expected to tell state attorney's general they can ignore same-sex marriage bans if they don't agree with those laws. raising new questions about the white house of habit of seemingly to choose what laws to enforce and what ones to ignore. coming up we take a closer look in the next hour at legality, meaning of the administration's
6:04 am
position. it was all bipartisan smiles yesterday's gathering of the governor with president obama at white house. that quickly changed after the meeting when republican louisiana governor bobby jindal took a couple of jabs at the president, just steps from the west wing office. >> i think there are things we can do instead of waving the white flag of surrender, instead of declaring this economy to be a minimum wage economy, i think our economy, i think america can do better. >> i don't know what the heck was white flag when it comes to people making $404 a beak. that is the most insane statement i have ever heard quite frankly. >> dan malloy, democrat of connecticut taking on republican lose counterpart. mike warren, "weekly standard." we saw bobby jindal throw lobs, some things at white house, taking health for breaking so-called protocol? who says there is protocol when you come out of a meeting with the president. >> i don't know what he is talking about folks, talking
6:05 am
about the breaking white house protocol. i don't know why we're shock two governors take opportunity in washington in front of the national reporters at white house to get a little attention for themselves. so the reaction i think from malloy, was definitely a little more personal than substantive. went aft some of these things that i can't believe we just broke all that comity that we had inside with the president. but the substance of jindal is saying not anything different than he is saying before. he criticized the president for overreach and not focusing on jobs. so this is really not anything new from governor jindal. >> look how beautiful the white house looks with the snow, right next to you. such a peaceful place and come out and have those fireworks. that is what politics is all about. what if you go into the white house, you're a governor, don't agree you're expected to come out in front of the microphones and say what you think, aren't you? >> well, and also, let's remember that in louisiana, bobby jindal's state, president
6:06 am
obama is very unpopular. bobby jindal's numbers are not that great either. good politics for jindal in the state of louisiana to argue and to debate president obama. let's also remember of course that 2016 is just around the corner. bobby jindal is definitely thinking about it. definitely thinking about running for president. this is perfect opportunity for him to say to republican voters, i will fight in the shadow of the white house. maybe republican voters think, hey, bobby jindal belongs in the white house. >> that is interesting point. i was on "special report" with bret baier. listen what he said as he explained himself. >> we don't have kings in this country. this president thinks he can interpret the constitution and apply laws when and how he wants them. he thinks he can go around congress. i think it is unfortunate the democratic governors have to defend the president whether he is right or wrong -- >> sound like potential campaign speech. >> that's right. governor jindal has to break out here. he is not a big name in the way
6:07 am
that chris christie is certainly big name nationally. so this is a perfect way for him. let's not forget as well, bobby jindal has been arguing and debating with the white house in particular point his school voucher program in louisiana. the department of justice sued the the state of louisiana, they have been battling back and forth in the courts. this is not really the first time that jindal has come out swinging against the white house. it is good politics for him. i think it portend for a white house run in the future. >> michael warren, thanks so much. it wasn't the first and will not be the last. >> no. thanks. martha: all right. fox news alert now on the crisis in ukraine. take a look at this. riot police getting on their knees to apologize to the deadly shootings last week in kiev. really a stunning, stunning sight. look at this. they are claiming that they are not the ones who attacked the demonstrators and that they are
6:08 am
ashamed of what the security forces did. dozens of people were killed last week in antigovernment protests of the 9 president was thrown out of office. he is now on the run as a fugitive. the former presidential chief of staff was wounded by the gunfire. the country's interim leadership is preparing to form a unity government. we'll keep a close eye on that scene. very dramatic moments in kiev. >> absolutely amazing. martha: packed show ahead for you. we have a lot going on today including the growing outrage over the administration proposal to cut our military to levels that have not been seen since world war ii. does that make sense for our security? lieutenant colonel ralph peters will be here with his take on that. >> important news for potential parents, listen up. researchers found a possible link between adhd and a common medication that millions of pregnant women take. we'll have details you will want to hear. martha: this 4-year-old girl, the victim of a mysterious virus that has left several children
6:09 am
partially paralyzed and authorities are asking questions. are they any closer to figuring out what is going on here? >> she was healthy until that point and, and, we thought it was asthma. and we went home from the hospital. that was trying in itself. and then the next day, we did not realize what we were in store for. minimize blood sugar spikes. support heart health. and your immune system. now there's new glucerna advance with three benefits in one. [ male announcer ] new glucerna advance. from the brand doctors recommend most.

6:12 am
martha: another world hot spot as tension grips venezuela's capital of can rock cast. -- caracas. those are the scenes over past several days as protesters throw rocks. police fire back with tear gas. latest what turned into weeks of protest where at least 15 people lost their lives. thousands are furious with venezuelan president nicholas maduro over skyrocketing inflation, rising crime and
6:13 am
shortage of even just most basic goods and services. >> it is over the top. does enormous long-term damage to the military. they act like it is highway spending, you turn it on and off. the fact of the matter he is having huge impact the ability of future presidents to deal with future crises that are bound to arise. eric: that was clearly very concerned former vice president dick cheney not mincing any words in response to the proposal from defense secretary chuck hagel that would slash the pentagon's budget. a view shared by many members of our military although secretary hagel insists that the cuts are fest to face a changed threat environment. are they? loot colonel ralph peters is a strategic analyst. lieutenant colonel peters, welcome. he says they strengthen our military readiness or do you
6:14 am
think the administration is compromising our very national security? >> the kind ever thing you say by secretary hagel he is asleep at the wheel as he appeared to be half asleep during his speech yesterday. the administration is without question, seriously compromising our security, our strategic flexibility and he is basically what these cuts do, the way they arrange, punish the troops in order to protect profits for contractors. and, eric, we've heard a lost fuss about, well army will be cut to the lowest level in since 1940. it is worse than that. in 1940 it was much lower tech force. 440,000 troops in 1940. even though it was a much too low could put a lot more riflemen in the field. 400 to 450,000, we have tooth to tail ratio, so many support troops for maintaining systems and intelligence personnel, that
6:15 am
we, an army of 450,000 would shut significantly fewer, fewer than 100,000 front line infantrymen in the field in a national emergency. eric: what would that mean? >> people matter. eric: what would that mean if there were less than 100,000? >> look how we were stressed out which were really very small conflicts. iraq and afghanistan, not to belittle the sacrifices made, those were tin pot wars, counterinsurgency operations. in a real war you need bodies. contractors, defense contractors, are so hypocritical and disingenuous they will tell you, well it takes 15 years to develop a new weapons systems. how long do they take it thinks to develop quality battalion commander, or platoon leader or platoon sergeant? military ultimately, our military has to be about people. you can't engage in wishful thinking, well we don't want that kind of war. for instance -- eric: they say superior
6:16 am
technology, all the new gizmos and everything else that makes up for the people on the, men and women on the ground. >> i've been through that cycle again and again. after world war ii. it would be all atomic weapons. we wouldn't need ground troops. we wound up in korea and street ma'am. -- vietnam. high-tech would solve everything. secretary rumsfeld wanted to cut two army divisions. what happened? we end up in iran rack and afghanistan. we had to add two army decisions. they don't understand you don't always get to pick your wars. dream of technological solution to warfare is still that, a dream. i will tell you that the administration has of slashing army because we want to make sure we don't have the capability to do long-term occupations that is like canceling your fire insurance to prevent a fire. it makes no sense. eric: you talk about slashing, let's look at some of the numbers. right now we're at 520,000
6:17 am
active members of the military. they could potentially go down 100,000 or so. >> yes. eric: 440 to 450,000. colonel, look at our adversaries rivals, enemies. china, 2.2 million active duty members. that is five or six times more. north korea, 1.2 million. russia, double, 800,000? we would be below, ready for this, we would be below turkey. turkey has 510,000. we would be egypt, 43thousand. would be above miramar, 40thousand. what does it mean the united states of america has basically the same troop level as turkey? >> eric. that is a critical point. obviously when you're talking high-tech war, the model is a war against china. look at what the administration is preserving. the f-35. you want to save money? that will cost the taxpayer trillion dollars in its life cycle. overdue. overbudget. doesn't work as advertised.
6:18 am
in a war with china, that aircraft, the centerpiece we're trying to preserve, has such short-range it couldn't get to china from any safe airbase. eric: getting rid of warthog. what if russia sent tanks into the ukraine 15 minutes from now. >> the warthog is 50 years old but it works. using hyper expensive, f-35 in close air operations for ground troops, it will not happen. if it did happen it is inefficient and ineffective. eric, there is no strategy behind the presentation hagel made yesterday except a political strategy and it screws our troops. eric: it is landing on capitol hill where the fight will begin. colonel peters, thanks so much for the analysis. martha? martha: morning the loss of an american hero. he was one of the last medal honor winners from world war ii. he has passed away. we'll tell you about his awe-inspiring acts of bravery.
6:19 am
eric: we'll have new details on the mysterious illness that left some kids paralyzed. one of the parents is speaking out on this mysterious disease some is being likened to polio. >> the prognosis we've seen so far is not good. most of the children we've seen have not recovered use of their arm or leg. your account is alry paid in full. oh, well in that case, back to vacation mode. ♪boots and pants and boots and pants♪ ♪and boots and pants and boots and pants♪ ♪and boots and pants... voice-enabled bill pay. just a tap away on the geico app. ♪ huh, 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. yup, everybody knows that. well, did you know that some owls aren't that wise. don't forget about i'm having brunch with meagan tomorrow. who? seriously, you met her like three times. who? geico.
6:20 am
6:21 am
6:22 am
eric: you know they're called the greatest generation for a reason. now one of the last surviving world war ii medal of honor recipients has died. he was walter ehlers. he passed away from kidney failure. mr. ehlers was awarded medal of honor for heroism during d-day invasion. he was 23 years old, imagine that, he charged through enemy gun fire to destroy two german
6:23 am
machine gun nests. he carry ad wounded buddy to safety. after he had been shot in the side by a sniper, mr. eylers wife saying he was the kindest, general tellest person. you wouldn't have know what could have done all the things he did. walt, as she called him, american hero. that represents the best our country offers. martha: story now, there is growing concern over an unknown virus that has left five children in california at least partially paralyzed. one of the victims is 4-year-old sophia jarvis. they say this is strikingly similar to polio, a disease eradicated in this country. william la jeunesse is live in
6:24 am
l.a. with this. what a mystery and how frightening for these families. what are the doctors saying? >> reporter: doctors do not know what is causing the illness. they suspect some polio-like virus. the symptoms hit suddenly and effects are serious. this illness has parents calling doctors asking about system symptoms. neurologists notice a drastic can change in their's motor abilities and however because the cases are so rare, the causes unknown, treatment now is limited. >> this extremely rare but, in the event that you ever notice sudden onset of weakness in your child persists more than a few minutes, we always would advise you to seek medical care urgently. >> reporter: experts began looking into this illness about 18 months ago. they have 25 cases. average age is 12. almost all of those are in california. martha?
6:25 am
martha: what ties them together if anything, william? what do we know about these cases? >> reporter: well, okay, all these kids had been vaccinated against polio. that is part of the mystery. take the case of sophia. like others it began with cold-like symptom, differ consult breathing. doctors treat it like the flu. they gave antibiotics, when symptoms did not clear up, hey, it might be allergy. suddenly she lost control in the left arm. they tried steroids, nothing. then came paralysis in the arm and weakness in her left leg. >> sophia was healthy until that point and, we thought it was asthma and we went home from the hospital. that was trying in itself. and then the next day, we did not, realize what we were in store for. and didn't realize her arm, she had a spinal cord inflammation and that her arm would be permanently paralyzed. >> reporter: bottom line,
6:26 am
researchers do not know what they're dealing with other than polio-like virus. they're asking for doctors help around the country and cdc identifying more casings. if somebody -- cases. if somebody knows something they don't, let the california department of health know. martha: helpless feeling for the doctors and these families. william, thank you. we urge anybody with any information and thoughts on it to get to work to solve this problem. william, thank you. >> reporter: sure. eric: you know, martha, it was supposed to cut costs and help the health care system. now a new government report says obamacare could actually raise insurance premiums for about 11 million working class americans. republican congressman kevin mccarthy will join us with his reaction next. martha: and a heated debate is going on in one state over religious rights and discrimination. should businesses be allowed to refuse service, for religious reasons? huge issue. we will talk about it when we
6:27 am
come back. >> i think it is creating a problem where there actually isn't a problem. >> we love everybody. we do not discriminate. >> the opponents who have managed to turn this into some sort of a discrimination bill against gays, it couldn't be farther from that. it says here that a won's sex drive increases at the age of 80. helps reduce the risk of heart disse. keep hrt-healthy. live long. eat the 100% goodness of post shreddedheat. doctorrecommend it.
6:28 am
6:29 am
6:30 am
spending the day with my niece. i don't use super poligrip for hold because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free. with just a few dabs, it's clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. so it's not about keeping my dentures in, it's about keeping the food particles out. [ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip. martha: fox news alert. as we go back to our top story. a report from the medicaid
6:31 am
actuary's office. it predicts insurance premiums will go up under obamacare for 65% of small businesses. those plans cover some 11 million working americans. california congressman kevin mccarthy is the house majority whip and joins us now. congressman, good morning. thanks for being with us today. >> thanks for having me. martha: what is the report reaction from this report from cms. >> more damage for the middle class. that will harm not only what their take-home pay is, because i'm sure they will be passed on but more importantly it will harm the economy. the number one way to see the economy is moving is through small business. how can they hire more when premiums continue to rise. this report was supposed to be done two years ago, released last friday at 2:00, and more damaging to what we've said before. what obamacare is doing to this economy. martha: well the administration would probably counter that it will go down for some people
6:32 am
about. about 35% of people that work for small businesses will go down according to cms report as well. >> i'm sure the administration will look different way. they looked at last report,.6 million equivalent out of the workforce and that was somehow good news. national small business administration took a poll of small businesses. 96% of them say premiums gone up. on average was $590 in 2009. and more than $1100 in 2014 almost double the process. martha: this $2500 the administration said a lot of families would experience a lot of savings of $2500. i'm having hard time figuring out who would fall into that category? >> look what the administration and president actually said before while he was selling health care. one, he told you if you had your health care, you liked it, you could keep it. we know now that is not true. he said it would lower premiums. we find report after report from
6:33 am
2.6 million people equivalent to losing their job and 11 million getting their premium raised and he said it would deal with the uninsured. cb off says after 10 years of obamacare there will still be 30 million uninsured. that is why the system will not work. you have to start and put a new health care system that actually deals with the patient, doctor relationship, not government. martha: yeah. you point to a very interesting number. i think we started this whole process, correct me if i'm wrong, with about 48 million uninsured, correct? >> yes. martha: the cbo report has shown that, or the cms report rather, has shown after 10 years you will still have about 30 to 31 million people who are uninsured, who don't have insurance, more than 30 million people, correct? >> correct. how many stories do you have out there today that their health care costs have gone up, they had health care they liked. now they can't keep it. now, they're not getting it is not solving the problem. that is why we fought so hard to
6:34 am
create a health care system that the patient is empowered, not government. martha: i mean the administration will continue to, you know, who roll out individuals say look, this has helped me. i didn't have coverage before and now have it. i'm living at home with my parents. i didn't have insurance now, now i have it. hhs says that actually the costs are rising more slowly now than they have in very long time. so those are the arguments on their side. seems to me when it comes to the elections in november, the midterm elections, people are going to sort of be the final arbiter, whether or not more people are in a better situation or more people are worse off. >> well, here's 11 million more people that will have their premiums raised because of obamacare. i think they will send a very clear message. what is unfortunate here, that republicans had a plan that lowered the premiums when you scored it. actually dealt with uninsured, dealt with those under the age ever 26 and dealt with preexisting conditions. yes, those things want to
6:35 am
trumpet, we dealt with, they were republican ideas. but more importantly the republican idea, gave more choice and powered individual and more costs. obamacare raised premium on 11 million more people in small business and that is the biggest driver of the economy. that is why we're in the fourth year of a recovery. this is the longest recovery ever based upon the policies from the administration. martha: you know i think a lot of people listen to that back and forth, say, yes, you say republicans had plans and they come up with ideas, they have been shot down obviously but where does that leave an american who said i signed up for this and i don't like it or voted for someone who put it in place and i'm not happy with it? they're essentially stuck, are they not? >> right now, from what the administration is trying to do continue to raise costs on them. in the house we're not doing that. in the house you find we have many plans for health care reform in the house. we'll move them through. unfortunately we moved more than
6:36 am
160 different bills from job creation and others and just sits in the senate. last time reid even gave a republican just an amendment offer was back in june. i think he only has done two since then. we need to open this government up, let deflate bait flow and let the best idea win. we're being stifled inside the senate. we have administration that only produces reports two years late on a friday because they don't want the press to see it. let the facts lay out there and see what the american people want. do they want to be in control of their own health care and costs to go down and the economy to grow? i think we have very strong ideas to make that happen. martha: we'll see. thank you very much, congressman mccarthy. good to see you as always. >> thanks for having me. eric: have you heard about the controversial debate that is now growing in one state? should businesses be allowed to refuse service for religious reasons? we'll take a fair and balanced debate looking at both sides coming up. martha: a spelling bee that went on so long they ran out of words, eric. eric: what? ♪
6:37 am

eric: how well can you spell? well get this, a spelling bee in missouri. two kids were put to the test. they were so skilled, so good, so on top of their game, they believe it or not, exhausted every word, all 300 words, provided by the competition after 66 round. >> they said that all the words that we had prepared, we have gone through. so we would like you to come back on a certain date. eric: well they spelled every single word correctly. so that means that new date will be march 8th, when they will face the possibility of getting any word, any of them, from the dictionary. how about that?
6:41 am
martha: arizona governor jan brewer is spacing a big decision. whether to sign or veto a controversial bill that would legally protect businesses that deny services to people for religious reasons. pressure is growing on both side of this issue. supporters say that it is about protecting religious freedom. opponents say that it legalizes discrimination. >> need to be able to exercise their religion freely in this state, without having those kind of concerns. now they still are going to have to meet a very difficult test, we know that. and that simply is what we're trying to accomplish. >> bad for business, bad for arizona which is what i believe. >> if we want to attract and retain top talent and have presence in this global economy we have to be a state that welcomes everybody. martha: wow. joining me, juan williams, fox news political analyst. andrea tantaros co-host of "the five." welcome to both of you. this is getting a ton of
6:42 am
attention. where it stand now, that the law passed in the arizona legislature, called sb 1062. now it will go to her desk on friday. she will either sign or veto this bill. it is a very brief bill. i would just read it here for a moment. it says that the exercise of religion means the practice or observance of religion, including the ability to act or the refusal to act in a manner substantial alley motivated by religious belief whether the exercise is compulsory or a larger system of religious believe. juan, what is your take on this. >> it allows people to discriminate. anybody can claim that their understanding of their religious belief trumps the law. that is what people are upset about. not just people on that are gay or on the left, martha. you have nfl. you have google. you have senator mccain. you have in fact conservatives voted for the bill not fully
6:43 am
appreciating the impact it would have. saying this is not what they wanted. not what they wanted for arizona and certainly not the message they wanted to send they would allow discrimination. martha: put the two tweets from jeff flake and senator john mccain, the senators from arizona, both of them encouraging governor brewer to veto this law. andrea, what do you think? >> well i can understand why some small business owners and why people who believe in the first amendment are concerned about their ability to exercise their freedom of religion. martha: let me interrupt you for one second, andrea. i apologize. i want to go back and say something i should have said in the beginning. a lot of this comes from two cases. one was a photographer who refused to take pictures -- >> gay wedding. martha: another was baker in new mexico i believe who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding. that is where all this ball really got rolling. i'm sorry. >> that's right. one of the businesses has gone
6:44 am
out of business because of this. both states consider gays to be protected classes. arizona does not however. so what they're trying to do in arizona is allow business owners to strengthen their religious freedoms. if they want, to muslim, not cook pork. if they're jewish, maybe not make a non-kosher cake or something like that. what happened, martha, this spiraled totally out of control. while the first amendment is a really strong arguement, i don't know why you want to bring jim crow laws back to the forefront for homosexuals. if you're a business owner, i don't know why you would want to turn business away. if you're gay, let's say, why would you want the baker of hate baking your cake anyway? unfortunately it has taken a really crazy turn and gotten way out of hand. as juan mentioned a number of republicans, three of them who voted to pass this said they would change their mind. martha: have gone back. sound like the lunch counter, juan. >> you know, to me it is
6:45 am
unfortunate turn. it damages the reputations. there are a lot of strong conservative principles you can defend in terms of people's personal rights. in this one it really comes down to the idea in my mind that we're a country of laws and certain laws protect people in terms of our civil rights and individual rights, martha. this is a clear step across that line. it may have been there was some intention to protect business people who have strong religious feelings but i think that now, i think it is apparent to everybody involved that it is having, it is having consequence, impact that goes beyond simple, saying to people we believe in religious freedom and freedom to express your -- martha: andrea makes a very good point because you, if a store in town hates little kids, i won't go in there with my little kids and market force is at work. i think it tend to work. if there is discriminatory bakery, that you know, doesn't
6:46 am
like gay people, then, probably those people are not going to want to march in there order their cake and be very bad for business, andrea, am i right, wrong? >> it is true. the business owners can refuse people, again, i don't why you would as daughter of a small business owner, i don't get why you turn somebody away. again i don't know why if you were these gay couples why you wouldn't find another photographer or find another baker for your cake? instead they turn into lawsuits i guess, one is going to the supreme court. and as you point out, people don't go where they're not wanted. so very quickly the gay community will realize, i'm not going to that baker anymore. and as it turns out i believe it was baker that did go out of business because of this. it is just what upsets me the most is that the first amendment here, has been completely ignored. instead it turned into argument to paint christians as bigots. i think that is the real problem. it is just ignited the loudest voices in the room and there is
6:47 am
no reason to do that. i don't know why any christian would want to not serve anybody. martha: i don't either. it is a good point. juan, final thought on that? >> no. i don't think it's a matter of painting christians as bigots, i think the bottom line for me, martha and andrea, what it is saying about the state of arizona. they have had troubles in the past with other issues, immigration and like. even going back to the king birthday. this now is somehow stamping the state in a way not good for business in the state. i think it is not good for the image of the state. i think that is what governor brewer has to contend with. martha: she has got to weigh that and she says she will. there are business concerns as you point out on the table. super bowl is coming there next year. apple also expressed their dissatisfaction with this law. very interesting to see what she does. >> she vetoed one last year, very similar law to this. i suspect with all the outcry she will do the same. martha: andrea thank you very much. you juan as well.

6:53 am
consciousness. eric: what a loss. i know. there is new information today on the potential effect much taking a widely used painkiller during pregnancy. the study in the journal "jama", pediatrics. a teeth met fin, brand name tylenol, likely have children born potentially with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, adhd. dr. debbie, assistant professor of anesthesiology and nyu school of medicine. dr. devi, what does this mean, if you're pregnant don't take tylenol. >> i would be cautious interpreting results. tylenol could cause the problems. we don't know how it works. it came out and accepted before tests we have to do for new drugs. we think it affects the hormones. the danger, this study was done by phone interviews. they asked women what they were doing to begin with. that means because they were not assigned to the specific groups
6:54 am
we don't know exactly what else they were doing, things that might have been different. maybe using other medications as well. that is one of the dangers. i would say that if woman don't need to take any of these medications, acetaminophen, during pregnant sir, better to avoid it. if they have a lost pain they might want to talk to the doctor and do something. better than sitting and suffering. eric: what could you do? motrin, advil? >> those are options for pain in general but not necessarily safe during pregnancy. they can cause other problems that affected heart. at times tylenol could be safest option. massage, physical therapy. women more likely to have lower back pain, sciatic can all kinds of joint changes during pregnancy. eric: what do doctors prescribe? >> we go with acetaminophen sometimes. sometimes stronger painkillers. if a woman has pain during pregnancy she down treat it and the problem her stress hormones
6:55 am
go up as well and that can also affect the fetus. during the study, keep that in mind, if you don't need to take tylenol, don't take it. don't aassume you have to stay away from all pain medication. eric: there is so much controversy what causes what. adhd. measles, mumps, rubella, they thought could have caused autism. studies show that wasn't necessarily true at all. >> yeah. eric: do we know what causes this? is it overly diagnosed, being diagnosed more or indeed, a lot more of it? >> well, you're right. some of the problems are that. we're starting to recognize these symptoms. we're starting to look at people more closely. that does lead to people getting diagnosed more often which is okay if they get treatment and they can get improved care and have better outcomes but we don't know for sure if the actually incidence is going up. might be we're diagnosing it and treating it more. that is one of the risks. with mmr, the vaccine, that rumor was dispelled late every but damage was done where a lot
6:56 am
of people do have concerns about vaccines. eric: if you're expecting, talk to the doctor. >> exactly. eric: dr. devi, thank you so much. >> nice to see you. >> we are moments away from remarks by eric holder. the attorney general is said to urge states to ignore same-sex marriage laws if it goes against their beliefs for these states attorney generals. at a conference with meeting of a lot of them. we'll have live details of that. eric: new anger over how the white house is dealing with the war in afghanistan. why a top republican says the president, in his view, is ignoring a victory. he will join us live next. >> we won the victory in iraq and then lost the peace. and i'm afraid if we don't really watch it in the next few months we could have the same identical thing happen in afghanistan. nieaive wilfulllfu

7:01 am
>> he is not stepping out and saying if your state has a ban, he is not telling them to fight or not enforce or defend it, he should he is saying they should look at it and make their own decision. he told the new york times this is something that is appropriate an attorney general did. he talked about the case that ended segregration in school. he said i would not have supported the separate but equal facilities in kansas. he said he sees these issues as something that is the civil rights issues of his time as attorney general. er
7:02 am
eric. >> what is the reaction from others? >> they don't think the attorney general should be fighting against what the legislation is dog. this was said. . i am ashamed of mr. holder and the president for turning their back on the black community. it is calling for a building up of the marriage institution. this group says they don't appreciate these civil right fights of a '50s and '60s being
7:03 am
compared to racial wars. they said they think eric holder should be impeached. this isn't the first time the attorney general weighted in for the state law issues. last august, he allowed colorado and washington marijuana laws to go forward and sued louisiana over their voucher program and took texas to court over their voter identification law and in september he sued north carolina on their own views. rich lowry is here from the national review. what do you make from this for this opening of the state attorney general telling them if they don't feel right about the
7:04 am
vote. >> a lawyer is supposed to represent his client vigorously and except in rare cases the attorney general has to defend the state's law. the state is his client and he should assume the laws are valid and forcible. the attorney general is basically advocating that state attorneys put their views over the law >> he is saying he believes this is unconstitutional and they have the uphold the constitution. let's look at the state. mr. holder said when laws touch on core constitutional issues like equal protectio, an attorney general should apply the highest level of cruet
7:05 am
scrutiny before deciding to support it. shannon pointed out he sees this as the equivalent of the civil rights issues of our time. >> one, he is way out ahead of the supreme court. they have not decided these definitions are unconstitutional. two, i don't think the aanalo aanalogy -- analogy -- holds. obama was the equivalent of a bigot when he said he supported the traditional view of marriage. >> the president said he eevolvd
7:06 am
over time. it is a fascinating debate. thanks for weighing ienricin, r. the president is meeting one-on-one with john boehner in the oval office. the last time they met was a year ago when the government was facing the looming fiscal cliff. mr. boehner said after that he gave up on talks with the president but this talk comes one week before the budget proposal is delivered to congress. we will see how that goes. and brand new fox polls are out

7:09 am
diplomatic and immoral. i think it was silly to announce a surge and in the same breath an end date were the surge. >> the united states still hasn't signed a security deal with the afghanistan and that is one of the biggest issues in front of us where the future of our involvement in that country. we will be joined by congressman buck mckeon and we will get more on his take on the president's military policy including the proposed cuts. >> looking forward to that. and talk about confidence or the lack thereof. the supreme court are split on the epa emissions regulations. is there administration overstepping a constitutional line and then there is this: >> by the time i got outside the water was bubbling and now it

7:15 am
support to the new regime >> this isn't a competition or a restoration of the cold war. this is the ukraine and their people. john bolton is here ambassador to the un and fox news analyst. he said this is a real danger. >> the russians have drawn a hard lip and have attributed this to be part of the brown resolution harkening back to germa
7:16 am
germany. they are saying the government in kiev isn't sufficient. ukraine is a split country. i think people might be getting the wrong impression that the good guys are taking over and the 99 percent of the country that didn't like the yanukovych is taking over. the badly split people could produce a pro-russian president. and if anyone thinks putin thinks this is for them to decide themselves this is delusional >> do you think we could see a repeat of what happened in georgia? >> i think putin does want to
7:17 am
have ukraine. i think if tension and animosity between the russian-speaking parts of the country sus the ukraine parts grow, putin might decide it is better have half. >> you are talking about a split? you think this country could have eastern part aligned with the eu west and the rest alignedaligned with russia? >> both sides want to keep the country together for different
7:18 am
reasons, where the possibility of a split arises is when one figures they will not be prevailing. i think we have a long way to go. but no one should underestimate russian intention to get this resolved. the president needs to read the memo about how putin sees it. this is a competition and there is no other way to subscribe it. we have in the in the ukraine tilting toward the west. >> many don't think the cold war is over at all. and what about who is being hailed as the democracy of freedom? she is said to be a putin
7:19 am
favorite. what happens if she runs and wins in may? >> there is theories going on that maybe she is putin's stocking horse. but since she representathiz representathizes -- represents the older part that the newer people want nothing with. she is in the hospital now. the situation is murky, hard to understand, complex and contradictory. anybody who thinks sweetness broke out because yanukovych fell needs to look at it again. >> he is still on the run as well. it an obamacare requirement that has people warning about the continue rise of what they call the nanny state. the government changes coming to the menu and restaurants are having a big problem.

7:25 am
maybe you can do one of the ads, eric. you cannot have cookies without milk. maybe cookie consumption is down. obamacare could affect how you dine out. new rules that would make restaurants put calories and other health information live. peter deucey is live and what restaurants are impacted by this? where are we going to see these numbers? >> it will be restaurants with 20 or locations and it requires nutritional information is on every menu along with how much an adult should be eating.
7:26 am
and that is a problem like at dominos where there are 34 million options. that would be small print. dominos suggested they offer a range of calorie for each kind of pie. but they say 90 percent of their customers never step foot in a store because people order out and thank this is in effective and expensivexpensive. >> our company, like many pizza companies, is an individual franchise units. to have to redo the menu board every time something changes on the calorie count would cost thousands a year to do something that is not beneficial for
7:27 am
consumer. >> domino's would like to offer the information online. and some are pressuring the fda to list online or with an app >> i think it is good for consumers to have calories about what they are eating. i certainly use it. but the real burden is the regulations that happened after this was passed. >> and i asked the fda for details about when this is set to go into effect but it hasn't gotten back to me >> it does work to some extent when you see that eye-popping number. a republican is now lashing out at the president saying he believes the white house is
7:28 am
trying to ignore victories and progress in afghanistan. >> placing politics above duty is tragic. it is tragic and unforgiveable. if the troops fight for the mission abroad, the president better fight for the mission at home. buck mckeon is here live to explain. and the so-called villain of jeopardy is back. can he keep the winning streak alive? alive? ll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. alex chu [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor

7:35 am
why did you believe that the president, in your words, is ignoring his own successful strategy in many respects in afghanistan? >> well, as you pointed out, and i mentioned in that speech yesterday, the president/commander in chief, isn't taking credit or acknowledging that the troops have had great victories or accomplishments. they are sent over there and not even given credit for the great accomplishments they have done. carrying out the mission that was established by this president. i think he should give the speech and he should talk about what he expected when he sent them over and what they have accomplished. i could go down a list of all things. he didn't even put it on his
7:36 am
website. >> we have that as you pointed out. you pulled up the iraq war on the white house headline. and you see promise kept. and what did you see on the afghanistan page? >> you cannot find the page. this is inexcusable. there were a million children able to go to school in afghanistan when we went in and now there are 8 million with 3 million being girls. the troops have accomplished great things. i went to a town we could not go to before and then i went there and it was an open school. 500 young people. about a third of people girls. not something we would have
7:37 am
here, but something they were denied under taliban rule. that happens over all that country. no one knows about it. it is incredible the president is only talking talk about this war a lit. people don't know what is going on or the successs the troops have had. >> we know there was little communication between the president and the generals on the ground in afghanistan. he didn't reach out to them often. and we remember what happened with stanley mccrystal in terms of how he felt the white house was handle the war. but the white house says that isn't true and the president stood up at the state of the union talked about the successs and pointed to a veteran of the
7:38 am
war and he received the biggest applause of the evening. >> there is no comment he talked on the wounding of that warrior. but they didn't mention the achievements. he talks about getting out and the sacrifices of the troops. but doesn't talk about the successes they had. the american people don't realize for the treasure and the loss of life and limb that we have dedicated there that we have been successful. the troops should be praised for their success. it should not be hard for the commander and chief to go on television and just let the world wide audience know that he
7:39 am
appreciates what those over there have done and they have had great success. >> it is a very-well taken point, congressman. they have given so much and worked so hard to provide security. there is a lot of issues with the status of forces agreement going on. but you are right to remind people that this president in 2008 said this afghanistan war was the war that needed to be fought and he would put himself and his office behind success in that arena. thank you for being here congressman. it is always a pleasure to have you here. >> thank you, marta. arthur you start us. >> that is right. >> what is arthur? he is back. arthur chu returned and he shook
